How willing are you to marry an average-looking person that you liked, if they had money?
I think the key words in the poll are "average-looking" and "you liked". If you asked someone, how willing are you to marry a hideous sack of pus that you despised, if they had money, I'm sure the answers would be a bit different.

Yeah, exactly.
But what I would like to add with that price and the entire piece really, it's so hypothetical. My girlfriend is currently in college but she will have a great job later because she's getting a degree that all but guarantees a job. Meanwhile I already work but my income fluctuates.
That's not what keeps us together, though. I mean, how fucking stupid would that be? Nobody is really like that. I've said before (when talking among friends) that if I had the choice I would marry into money, cause why WOULDN'T I say that? OF COURSE I would, all things being equal. Even moreso if you add the condition, like this research team--and I'm using that term loosely--does, that the person has to be basically likable and attractive. It would be not just stupid, but positively irrational not to do so.
But "all things" are never equal. You don't marry a face and a bank account, marry a PERSON, and every person is unique, completely, from everybody else.
Because we... are all like snowflakes. /lewisblack
